I rebooted the computer and got the auto repair attempt then went into advanced and tried the start up repair. no success.

put in the clone that I had made and just for a little insurance, cloned the clone onto a brand new ssd. used the clone fine all day. booting up the computer gave me the same issue on the 2nd hard drive. put the 3rd clone in and within 24 hours I have 3 separate hard drives that will not boot, all with the same error.

    Okay, please do try that to rename that file back to its original name, but renaming that file should not stop Windows booting up, it is not a system file, your Windows system may be very corrupt.

    I was thinking about putting this hard drive in my main machine as a removable drive and try to rename that one file back

    Ok did that, startup repair could not fix

    restore said to reboot and choose an operating system, which I can never get to that

    now on boot I get a blue recovery screen that has the options for recovery environment, startup settings and uefi firmware

    I choose F8 and choose safe mode

    it just goes back to the bsod inaccessable boot device
